Good Cork Psychic/Fortune Teller

I have been to rory in Clonmel (stay clear) although first time I saw him he was excellent, however he has disappeared now.

I decided to head along to him last summer because I wanted to see what the story was for myself after hearing all about the man. My brother came with me. I had no trouble getting hold of Rory to make the appointment but he was over an hour late on the day, so we went up to The Princess Bar. By the time he texted us to say he was in his office, I was a bit on the tipsy side.

Anyway, Rory didn't really tell me anything that blew my mind, but he was spot-on about my brother living at the end of an estate on a hill where planes fly low frequently (it isn't far from the airport). Rory also accurately described where Tadhg (bro) works and what he does there. That was it really. Nothing else that made us sit up and take notice. He did say that our father was sexually abused by an older man when he was a child, but it's not like I'm going to go up to him and ask him. Let sleeping dogs lie if, indeed, the above is true.

Rory is a nice fella though - apart from the tardiness. Stutters a lot, which can be annoying when you just want him to get the sentence out, but nice fella.

I also went to Annette in Cork and found her useless a total waste of money. She was so off the mark it was ridicolous. I asked her if I would have any kids and she said she couldnt see any for me in the next 2 years anyway. I was 3 months pregnant at the time and regretted asking this as I spent the rest of the pregnancy worried that something would happen to the baby. thankfully it didnt. I think Annette likes talking about herself more than doing a reading for you and she is very expensive.

God, that's gas. :pac: Thanks for your honest appraisal.

I too would love to hear more about Peter Matthew someone who has been and if anything came true!

Hi there, I posted on page 12 of the link in MrMojoRisin's link, thankfully nothing he predicted came through. He did mention November and then let it pass, my dad was taken ill in November and he's fine again now. If I thought he could get rid of the "block" or get through the "block" I have around me I' give it another shot, but to be honest it was a bit exhausting trying to make everything he was telling me "fit". Going to have another listen to the recording tonight and maybe post back if there are any positives, to be honest I didn't listen to it much because I found it a bit upsetting, and I'm almost afraid I'll bring doom and gloom on myself by listening to it again.

Hi, im new to this board, so forgive me any mistakes, I have been to see both Veronica and Annette and had good experiences with both, although i found Annette much more thorough, and she also spent alot more time with me, just more experienced I think. The best I have ever been to is Moya, she no longer lives in Cork as she is studying in the psychic college in wales but she still comes over about once a year for a week or two and takes appointments in Dervish, but she books up very quickly. Im not an obsessive, the first reading I ever had was years ago now with Moya, and at the time I was very determined not to give anything away, and weary that it was all a charade, but she was very good and accurate, i think like most people I went because my life was in a bit of turmoil at the time, and she definatley helped and made me feel better, so for me for that reason alone it was worth the money.My second reading was a few years later with Veronica, again as I was going through a rough time, and I did find her good, she picked up on a lot of things, maybe not the main thing I wanted her too, but all the same she was accurate with everything she did come out with, she also asked me if I had an interest in mediumship, as there were spirits around me constantly, it was always something that had frightened me before, but I couldnt get it out of my head after that reading. Since then I have been training with readings and I have done an introduction to mediumship course, and it is amazing how fast and accurate things can come about. Ive been to other readings since with Annette and Moya again for guidance and advice on this, and of course the usual, love, life ect., one thing ive learned is that its impossible for me to read for myself, I guess because i cant seperate my own feelings and emotions and look at it subjectivly. I know im rambling on now, but the one piece of advice I would give to anyone interested in getting a reading, is that if you want to get your monies worth then be open and go with it, im lucky so far as I dont charge to do readings as i was looking for experience, so people are quite open and honest and willing to listen, but if you go with the idea of not giving anything away,or are waiting to catch someone out or trip them up, it does block it somewhat and make it a lot more difficult to have a good reading. And dont forget, its only advice, nothing is set in stone, and you only hear what you need to hear at the time, that doesnt mean things cant or wont change in the future, sorry for going on, I hope this helps.

You are so right in advising people to go with open mind when going for readings. And do first confirm if the said psychic is worth having readings from. I mean go to only genuine psychics only.

Could someone please pm me the number for Veronica in Blackpool?

Many thanks

Her number is listed in the psychics and mediums directory on paranormal.ie: http://www.paranormal.ie/directory.html

I went to Veronica about 4 or 5 years ago, she was very good.

Tom Flynn is very good too, went to him last year.

So sorry for the very late reply..Went to see Peter and thought he was OK..Certainly wouldn't be raving about him anyways..he named a few people that had passed on but that was about as good as it got..Gave the usual story of "will live happily ever after"..But so far none of the stuff has happened and would be sceptical as to whether it would or not..beginning to think these so called "psychic's" may not be all that you want them to be..

Did you tell him that a lot of the stuff he said was inaccurate? When I was with him before, he mentioned a few things that meant nothing to me or didn't apply to me, so I just told him there and then. Like, he'd say, "I'm getting a Joseph here who looks to have worked in a factory with machinery connected to vehicles. Do you know who this is?" Me: "No, don't have a clue who that is." And then Peter would stop and try again.

It wasn't like he was trying to fish for 'clues' to thread together info to 'fit' me though. He couldn't have done that with me anyway because all I said was "No, means nothing," or whatever. Like, I didn't 'help' him and he was insistent from the start that I simply deny or confirm things he said (yes or no) anyway. I listened to the recording I made of it a few times afterwards as well and I didn't 'leak' any info - verbally at least.

I know people think the following is a convenient 'cop-out' now, but sometimes mediums can't make a strong connection with 'the other side'. Another thing is that they aren't any good at interpreting visual and/or auditory symbolism and references to things made by the deceased. In that case, I think it's the medium's responsibility to improve their discernment and understanding of subtle cues like the above. Peter might not be too good at comprehending visual references and the like because I noticed he'd have to try that bit harder to clarify what he was 'seeing'. So maybe brush up on that side of things.

I still think the man is genuine anyway. I'm not personally affiliated with him in any way but I've been quick to sort of 'champion' him based on my own experience. As I was walking out the door after the reading with him before, there was no doubt in my mind that he was the real mccoy. I was so stunned by the stuff he came out with, I didn't even go straight home and felt like I should go for a drink first instead and mull over it all.

But if you feel/felt like he was making a balls of the reading up until 10 minutes into it, you're entitled to stop the thing and walk away without paying a cent. Carol Byrne did that with me before after I kept telling her "No" and that I didn't know who blahblahblah was. No hassle.

This is sort of OT now, but I tried out a telephone reading from Sharon Neill (the blind psychic in Belfast, or wherever in N.I. she's from again) last year. She seemed like a nice woman - if an eency weency bit defensive, like she feels she has to prove herself more because of her disability, or something - but the reading was a non-runner. I paid her through PayPal beforehand and then she gave me a ring to arrange an appointment for the phone reading.

Anyway, on the day, she came out with one name after another that was inapplicable to me and even thought my parents were dead. No, very much alive actually. She was saying, "I have an older lady here but it's as if she didn't pass at an old age either. She has a maternal feel to her. This wouldn't be your mother, would it?" :rolleyes: Sharon thought I worked in an area that had something to do with animals (one of the 'deceased loved ones' had told her apparently). No. Well, there are a few apes in this building alright, lol.

Eventually, Sharon suggested that she put the reading to bed altogether and offer me a refund because none of what she was saying was resonating with me. That was grand with me. So, whatever about her reading skills, as it were, kudos to her for having the decency to stop flogging a dead horse and offering a refund.

i went to see peter matthews last week,i found him good i wish i had recorded it. he told me stuff about myself, he got in contact with loved ones who have passed. overall i was very happy and came away reflecting and content with my experience with him.

Firstly there are as many charlatans doing this for a living as their are cowboy builders etc.... Secondly it can be difficult seperating the two on visual appearances or lifestyle alone. When going to a person for a reading people have expectations, either because of word of mouth, or from stereotypes of the types of people who do this. Having a title "white witch" give the impression of a person who knows about otherworldly type stuff. That is not a slight on the actual person who has this title its just a statement of my opinion. What I mean that people are to a certain degree pre-conditioned as to what to expect from a reading both positive and negative.

That's true - if someone is calling herself a witch, people contemplating seeing her are preconditioned to expecting mighty supernatural feats. Then again, from what I know, practicing witches can't levitate, turn toads into butterflies, or whatever (obviously). I don't think it's as fantastical and 'out there' as that.

So maybe people should inform themselves on what it is certain 'practitioners' really do (as a general guide)? There should be responsibility taken by both parties really for both sides' benefit.

Even with your average card reader or psychic, some people, from what I've gathered, don't seem to understand what they do or how they do it (and no, smart arses, I'm not inviting the explanation, 'they Google/cold read people.' ).

Granted, there's a real shoal of chancers out there (I've met a few myself) but, for those who are reading with the best of intentions, there's obviously a technique or some level of 'skill' involved. I think many people disregard this side of it and, occasionally, when they don't get the 100% amazing, mind-blowing results they want in readings, they just say succinctly that so-and-so was "crap."

Again, some of them are crap, to be fair; probably because they're blatantly reading body language and what have you, and never bothered their arse actually learning to master their cards, which are essentially a prop. So it's true in some cases and justifiable.

People who do readings do more than just read the card/palm or whatever. They know as soon as you walk in the door how your mood is, experience over the years hones these instincts. We also know straight away if a person comes with iron barriers up, generally because they are afraid of what you might find out, these people can be the easiest to read for. And then it is what messages are given psychically and the information on the cards/palm or what have you.

Interesting that the people with their barriers up are easiest to read. I would have thought it was the opposite. Interesting.

I had read an earlier post which stated; "that they heard of some people look at a persons palm and then telling them they can't read for them". I have known this to happen, I will say here; every time I have heard of that happening it is because the reader could not pick anything up for the person. I will also add I have never met a person who I have seen do it I have only heard, so it could still be a myth.

My cousin was telling me recently that two friends of hers went to see the White Witch in Cobh around summertime in 2010 and, when she brought them inside to sit down for the readings, she took one look at the palm of one of them and announced she "couldn't read her." Now, she had read for that particular girl before on a couple of occasions. My cousin's friend said she then led the girl outside the door to basically go away. They found it very odd.

They didn't think much more of it until one of the girls' parents died within about a year. I think the father died first about three months after the non-reading with the White Witch, and then her mother died roughly eight months later. Something like that.

Also, a lot of crap has happened to that girl recently - apparently she has diabetes (she's in her early 20s, like) and has gone a bit mental/unstable. I don't know if all that has anything to do with it, but my cousin and her friend remarked on the coincidence. Now, I always get a great laugh out of the White Witch and her shenanigans, but it is odd.

Sadly this does not happen all the time, for reasons I don't understand I don't get psychic information for everybody. And I know neither does any other person in this field. In cases like this I let the person who I am reading for that I am not picking anything up psychically etc, however I am happy to give a general reading. The choice is then left with the person as to whether or not they want to continue....

Yeah, that's the point - about 10 minutes in - where people should be given the option to go on or not, get a refund, etc. That's only fair (for both parties).

Another bug bear is the telling the untimely demise of a person. No No No, can't say it enough....it is never the place of a reader/psychic to offer up that kind of information, even if they pick something like that up. It is a disgrace that anyone would, or tell anyone that they will be an alcholic by the time they are 38, if that is the information that the reader picked up then there are other ways of saying cut back on the drink, if in fact the person was drinking to much

I know - wouldn't it be smarter and more pragmatic to simply suggest to someone, "Mind your alcohol intake. Give your auld liver a break for a while, alright? Maybe get more exercise." As opposed to saying, "Your palm says you'll be an alcoholic by the age of 38 and you'll die soon afterwards." Dumb.
